When 14-year-old Omar, a boy who was serving with moderate opposition forces in Syria, was captured by the Islamic State group, he boldly refused to join their diabolical group — and for this decision, he paid a hefty price.

In an interview with Britain’s Channel 4, Omar described how the cruel militants tied him down and then chopped off one hand and one foot.

“They put my hand on a wooden block and cut if off with a butcher’s knife,” Omar said. “Then they cut off my foot and put them both in front of me for me to see.”

Then a militant dubbed “The Bulldozer” made a public display out of the limbs to warn other children not to dare resist his group’s demands.

This occurred after Omar had already experienced a month and a half of torture.

How exactly Omar eventually got away from the Islamic State group was not immediately clear, but as of early October, he was living in a Turkish border town and had reportedly “given up on life” due to the loss of his hand and foot, not to mention the horrific torture he suffered.

Remarkably enough, Omar is in many ways one of the lucky ones, as thousands of young children his age and older are put through “rigorous military and psychological training to become the next generation of ISIS shock troops,” explained Channel 4.

Many of them, some as young as eight, wind up dying as suicide bombers. Others are taught how to perform beheadings. And the few who do resist the Islamic State group’s hideous philosophy … well, they usually wind up like Omar … and sometimes much worse.
